Book Review:  Pelicans, Coconuts & Butterflies – Ani Kaspar

Pelicans, Coconuts & Butterflies

“Pelicans, Coconuts and Butterflies” is a breast cancer survivor’s story by new author Ani Kaspar.   I have read dozens of cancer survivor’s books and articles over the last 21 years.   When I came across Ani Kaspar’s account on Facebook I had just met with a friend whose wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.   I noted Pelicans, Coconuts and Butterflies was Ani’s account of dealing with her own personal breast cancer challenge and thought the book may be a great gift for my friend’s wife.

When received I sat down to review Ani’s story prior to posting it off to my friend.  I was not prepared for the marvelous personal accounts of diagnosis, facing of daily challenges and the ultimate triumph incorporated into Ani’s story of her struggles.   Ani Kaspar’s ability to show her human side, intertwined with the spirituality required in chapter after chapter left me unable to sit the book down.  I can only describe her story telling abilities as masterful.

The bonus is after 20 plus years of cancer education I was learning useful medical information without being preached to or taught in a scholarly way.     The cancer tips, facts and figures were so skillfully intertwined into Ani’s story that picking them up was second nature.    Hopefully, you can tell I’m giving Pelicans, Coconuts and Butterflies my unqualified endorsement and suggesting it be in everyone’s library, cancer patient or not.

Author Ani Kaspar

Excerpt:  Pelicans, Coconuts & Butterflies

“Yesterday, my double mastectomy surgery was scheduled.  My surgeon is one of the best in the nation, a Susan B Komen fellow, with a resume that would shame Linus Pauling or Nickolai Tesla.  I canceled our appointment to radically transform my breasts.  Also about a month ago, I canceled the surgery to remove my uterus and ovaries.  Michael and I argued for months about my second thoughts, my fearful thoughts of surgery.  The eternal feminine prevailed.  I changed my mind.

I’ve been told by medical-professional friends of mine I can now look forward to being fired as a patient by both surgeons – both women in their late thirties, making handsomely healthy livings dissecting women’s bodies.   Whatever.  The day before each surgery, every cell in my body begged for me to cancel.  Maybe I am a coward.  Maybe I am simply sane.  I must listen to my body.

Now, a year after diagnosis, I remain committed to my original plan of action.  Natural cancer cure or natural death.  How relieved, freed, right I feel.  Every cell has stilled itself, relaxed into the rightness of my choice.  My loving-life cells could not weather the trauma of such invasive surgery.  My femaleness, my very being, cried no.  My soul’s shaking won.  My heart’s powerful love won.  My cell’s wisdom won.  I rest in truth.  God/dess knows the truth, lives the truth of life, of death, of rebirth.  Today I am that victorious God/dess   I am God/dess today.”

Cayenne Pepper (Capsaicin)

Capsaicin, the active ingredient in habaneras and cayenne peppers, has a long history of cancer and other medical applications. I initially started this post in response to a request for help with a serious and reoccurring nose bleed.

It turns out a tea made of cayenne pepper (1 teaspoon per cup of hot water) is close to 100% effective in addressing the reoccurring nose bleeding problem.

Thinking about the heat generated by the capsaicin in cayenne pepper took me back to a cancer cure I came across several years ago. It involved eating a sandwich made of habanera peppers, garlic, butter and cod liver oil every day for 14 days. At the end of the period Stage IV cancer was suppose to be on the run.

Being one that loves to try various home remedies for difficult cancer problems I gave the habanera’s cure a try. At the time my own cancer (fNHL) was in clinical remission so I would have no personal experience of a cure to recount. Fortunately, I had a friend with active prostate cancer who jumped at the opportunity as well.

The cool thing is the habanera’s protocol is based on the work of controversial cancer Doctor Emanuel Revici. Cancer survivor Kelley Eidem’s spent years researching Dr. Revici’s work and subsequently wrote a book, “The Doctor Who Cures Cancer” encompassing what he learned. Revici was scorned by the traditional medical system but very successful in treating serious cancers.

Here is Kelley’s novel recipe:

Habanera Peppers ( Capsaicin )

(1) Grate one habaneros pepper each day, putting it on bread (2) Grate two cloves of garlic each day, putting them on bread (3) 1-2 Tablespoons of Emulsified cod liver oil each day.* TwinLabs makes some wonderfully flavored cod liver oil.

I used the cod liver oil because I was not losing any weight or dealing with fluid retention. If I had either of those conditions, I would have used evening primrose oil instead of the emulsified cod liver oil.

(4)Smother the grated garlic and habaneros peppers with real butter and eat it. No margarines of any type, including Smart Balance, etc.

That’s it!

* Cod liver oil and evening primrose oil respectively are described as helping to balance an “off-balance” metabolism. Which of these oils to ingest depends on whether a person’s metabolism is too anabolic or too catabolic. Visit Kelley’s website if in doubt which oil to use. (majority of instances you will use cod liver oil)

Here is a video showing how to make your own very high potency habanera / garlic tincture to use when making habanera sandwiches might not be particularly convenient. And, a 2nd video on the benefits of capsaicin found in habanera’s, cayenne pepper and other hot peppers.

Ultra-Sonic Cleaner

Combination Liposomal for cancer contains Vitamin C, Resveratrol and Curcumin. Pdazzler’s latest homemade Liposomal may be a potent cancer fighter when added to your current anti-cancer regimen or protocol. And you can make this powerful combination Liposomal in your own kitchen.

I have used homemade Liposomal Vitamin C as an alternative cancer treatment and as a cancer preventative for over a year.

Vitamin C (like Curcumin and Resveratrol) is very difficult for the body to absorb when taken orally. This is particularly true when Vitamin C is taken in large oral doses. Until the advent of Liposomal Vitamin C the only efficient method of getting therapeutic levels of Vitamin C into the blood stream was intravenously. This required administration and attendance by a physician or nurse practitioner.

Current studies indicate cancer patients can get more bang for the buck from properly prepared oral Liposomal Vitamin C than is available from the intravenous variety.

Industry is now producing Liposomal carriers for any number of supplements. Two of the more recent and effective are Liposomal Curcumin and Liposomal Resveratrol. One supplement manufacturer has created a combination liposomal with 5 active ingredients.

Curcumin has also been an active part of my personal anti-cancer protocol for several years. Curcumin is extremely difficult to absorb. Any number of additive ingredients have been tried to assist the body in absorption of Curcumin, the most popular or which is piperine (pepper).

Unfortunately, even with piperine only a small percentage of Curcumin reaches the bloodstream. Substantial doses of Curcumin (many grams daily) are necessary to get therapeutic levels into the blood and piperine (pepper) often upsets the stomach.

Numbers of users, myself included, incorporated Curcumin into their Budwig mixes on the theory flax oil contained in Budwig assisted the fat soluble Curcumin in being absorbed.

Vitamin C Foundation

This is a great idea but no-one ever proved in studies the practice was paying real dividends. It is doubtful therapeutic doses of Curcumin reach the blood (with this method) unless you are taking high doses of several grams daily.

Scientific studies show placing Curcumin in Liposomal nano-bubbles is 9 to 10 times as effective getting the Curcumin to the blood stream as piperine. This means a therapeutic application that requires 10 to 15 grams of oral Curcumin can now be accomplished with 1 – 2 tablespoons of Liposomal Curcumin. (Prostate Cancer Study.)

The new hot button anti-cancer supplement is Trans-Resveratrol. A few minutes Googling on the Internet will bring back any number of citations for dozens of medical studies on the efficacy of Trans-Resveratrol and a significant number of them involve cancer. (Skin Cancer Study.)

Trans-Resveratrol, like Curcumin causes apoptosis (cancer cell death), is fat soluble and extremely difficult to absorb. Studies show Liposomal Resveratrol reaching the blood stream at 10 to 20 times the levels of regular oral administration.

Note: Resveratrol is very reactive to open air and will oxidize quickly. Product stability is critical to overall product effectiveness. This requires special packaging steps and special care must be taken in order to maintain a high level of potency. Store any unused Trans-Resveratrol in airtight container. It is suggested you purchase in smaller sealed units or evacuate the air between uses to preserve potency.

This is the point where you are tasked to do your own research on the value of Resveratrol, Curcumin and Vitamin C in treating or preventing cancer in your personal case. What follows is my recipe for preparing combination homemade Liposomal containing three super-star supplements, Vitamin C, Resveratrol and Curcumin.

It is recommended you read and produce “Homemade Liposomal Vitamin C” first, prior to attempting my new homemade liposomal combination. The process is similar although water soluble Vitamin C is much easier to place into an efficient liposomal. As you work with the combination you learn it involves more “art” than “science”. Patience is an added virtue.

Using a small (2 cup) Ultrasonic cleaner, (Item #03305, obtainable from Harbor Freight @ about $30.00), we performed the following:

1. Using a glass or stainless steel sauce pan warm 1 ½ cups of distilled water to 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit).
2. In two 12 oz. or larger sealable jars place ½ cup (4 oz.) of the warmed distilled water in each.
3. Add 3 tablespoons of non-GMO soy lecithin (NOW brand works well) to each jar. Seal jars and agitate each vigorously for 3 – 5 minutes. Set jars aside allowing the lecithin granules to soak up distilled water.
4. After soaking for two or more hours shake/agitate each jar vigorously until smooth creamy lecithin solutions in each jar with no visible lecithin granules.
5. Place 10 grams Curcumin (3 1/3 level teaspoons) in one jar of lecithin solution, close jar tightly and agitate/shake aggressively for 3 – 5 minutes until Curcumin is in solution.
6. Place 3 grams Resveratrol (3 level teaspoons) in the 2nd jar of lecithin solution, close jar and agitate/shake aggressively for 3 – 5 minutes until Trans-Resveratrol is in solution.
7. Pour contents of both jars together into ultra-sonic cleaner and turn the unit on. Stir with straw through the first cycle. (Approximately 2 – 3 minutes.)
8. Start next ultrasonic cycle. When ultrasonic unit stops start again. Continue running cycles and stir occasionally while accomplishing the following.
9. Wash your sealable jars. Place two oz. of warm distilled water in each jar.
10. Add 1 Tablespoon prescription Vitamin C powder to 1st jar, seal and shake/agitate vigorously until Vitamin C is dissolved.
11. Dissolve 1 Heaping Teaspoon of Bob’s Red Mill Bicarbonate of Soda (Bob’s is Aluminum free) in 2nd jar, seal and shake / agitate vigorously until baking soda is dissolved.
12. **What follows is often the most difficult part of the process for those new to making homemade liposomals. While stirring the Vitamin C / distilled water solution very slowly pour/dribble the dissolved bicarbonate of soda/water mixture into the Vitamin C / distilled water solution. (Pour soda solution slowly as the resulting mixture will bubble. By pouring slowing and constantly stirring Vitamin C solution you will be able to mix the two without bubbling over.)
13. At the conclusion of mixing the bicarbonate of soda mixture into the Vitamin C mixture bubbling will cease. Pour the resulting total Vitamin C / Bicarbonate of Soda mix together into what was the Bicarbonate of Soda jar and swirl to dissolve any soda that may have settled out.
14. Pour the resulting Vitamin C / Bicarbonate of Soda mixture in ultrasonic unit with the Lecithin, Resveratrol, Curcumin mix.
15. Operate the ultrasonic cleaner for 4 additional cycles or 10 minutes.
16. Measure the pH of the resulting Liposomal combination. You are seeking a pH 7.25 – 7.50. . * Both Vitamin C and Resveratrol are acidic. If needed add very small amounts of addition soda to buffer resulting Liposomal to neutral.

Bottle and refrigerate the resulting combination Liposomal.

Start with just one or two tablespoons daily and increase dosage slowly, listening carefully to your body as your progress.

Each Tablespoon of this Liposomal Combination results in:

500 mg Vitamin C. Assuming 10 x efficacy the equivalent of 5 grams oral.
415 mg Curcumin. Assuming 10 x efficacy the equivalent of 4 grams oral.
125 mg Resveratrol. Assuming 20 x efficacy the equivalent of 2 1/2 grams oral.

All ingredients are noted for apoptosis (cancer killing) so approach the use with significant caution and common sense. Large doses could cause a severe herxhiemer reaction overwhelming your body’s ability to remove the resulting cancer die off.

The combination is more effective if blood levels are kept near constant. So dividing doses over time is a valid strategy. Example: a tablespoon morning and evening as opposed to two tablespoons just in morning. Or, a teaspoon every hour for 12 hours as opposed to 4 tablespoons every three hours. -- Pdazzler
